If it loses electrons, then the ion has a positive charge.
If it gains electrons, thne the ion has a negative charge.

What subatomic particle is lost or gained in the formation of an ion?
To make a positive ion, we need to remove one or more of the negative components from an atom. The negative charges that make up an atom are the electrons, which can be found in shells or orbitals some distance from the nucleus. Take away one or more electrons, and the protons, the positive charges that make up atoms and which hang out in the nucleus, give the atom an overall positive charge. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positive ion.
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
How many electrons are lost or gained if there are 4 electrons 4 protons?
occur, there must be an occur, there must be an
When electrons move closer to the nucleus is energy lost or gained?
The electron decreases energy when it comes nearer to the nucleus.
Which type of particles are transferred during static charging?
Neutrons & Electrons. Protons cannot be transferred, lost or gained.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is referred to as what?
An ion
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons callled?
An ion.
Number of electrons lost or gained by an atom in a chemical reaction is its?
Number of electrons are lost by an atom in a chemichl reaction
The atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion?
Yes. An atom that has gained one or more electrons is a negatively charged ion called an anion, and an atom that has lost one or more electrons is a positively charged ion called a cation.
What is an ion that has lost or gained electrons called?
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons and is no longer neutral?
Valance electron
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons and carries an electrical charge?
an ion
How many electrons are gained when going from Al to Al3 plus?
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
